55 years old tears in my eyes miss you mam and dad

Remember everything but absolutely certain i never saw or heard of the London bus thing at 4 minutes. What was that?

I was 7 years old in 1970 and had major brain surgery in June of this year. Today in May 2024 i am 61 years old and i remember many of the shows on this video. We had great TV in the 1970s even though we only had 3 channels Television was so much better and the quality of the programmes back then better than the rubbish we endure today.

Oh my goodness. I've got tears in my eyes. I get sick of people who never lived through the seventies saying it was rubbish. I loved it

No ADHD, no mobile phones, no internet, no gender fluidity or transgender. No LGBTQ, no Macdonalds, Burger King or Kentucy Fried Chicken. No reality TV, no Simon Cowell or Ant & Dec. No Katie Price, or Love Island, Big Brother, Britains Got Talent, or other crap TV. Only three TV channels which ended late at night and started in the morning. No DVDs, VHS, CDS, streaming or earbuds. No CCTV on every corner. No cannabis farms in every street. No mobility carts or electric bikes and scooters. Respect was given to the emergency services, teachers, parents and people in authority. Discipline was harsher, but you knew if you'd crossed the line, you made sure you didn't do it again! Playing out until dark, pop bottles you got money back for returning them. Ring pulls and tab ends in the gutters, white dog poo! No vapes! No cash machines. Banks and shops on the high street. No out of town shopping centres. No B&Q or Wickes. No supermarkets. Proper newspapers, doorstep milk, proper butter, then Margerine. No pubs or shops open on a Sunday. Half day closing, usually on a Wednesday afternoon. NME, Sounds, comics that weren't PC. Proper seasons. Washing cars on a Sunday, quiet streets with space you could play in. One car families, if you were lucky. Proper gardens, not paved, gravelled or tarmacadamed over to fit three or four cars in. No UPVC double glazing. Condensation on the windows or ice in the winter. The smell of gloss paint or creosote in the summer. No designer this or that. Dr Marten boots, wedge shoes or brogues. No trainers, joggers or Crocs. I could go on, but you get the drift.

The 70s hot summers and white winters . Up and out in the morning not back home till it was getting dark .

The time when we thought John " tedium" Craven's Newsround would never, ever, end. But it did... eventually tf.

A wonderful trip down memory lane! Thank you for putting it together. So many lovely comments here. 👏🏽

And the nature of Monkey was... ?

Punks. I love them, this is my youth. Another best life.

TV was garbage then . Same as now. Nostalgia plays games with your memory.

Where has all the time gone. i was young then [born 1958], now I'm an old man. When I see clips from old TV shows or ads from the 70s or 80s featuring little kids, I feel sad, they will also be aging now and some may have grandchildren older now than they were then [not including myself, I'm still single, the only way I could have a family now is in the unlikely circumstance that I meet and marry a widow who has children and grandchildren]..

Oh the 70s and i was 70 last week life was so simple them it doesnt seem that long ago i was going to school and im still friends with girls i started infant school with and left senior school with i had my son in 72 and he had freedom like i had to play out no mobile phones or pcs kids where kids then played out got dirty and were happy ,you see kids today little tots in prams watching their mums iphones ot on tablet's the mums dont talk to them like mums in the 70s did pointing birds out ect . Im so glad i was born in the mid 50s had my son in 72 we have memories of freedom playing out so does my son now i ender what memories todays kids will lòok back on

Worst sport i ever seen no skills even i can grab the ball run down to the goal & blast it 👏

Three channels and not a stupid reality show in sight just great telly

Great collection of memories, thanks for putting it together and sharing with all of us that grew up in the 70's in Britain! Awesome! :)

Sadly most of these tv programs are still being aired, UK tv is rhe pits

Im 63 and i enjoyed my childhood so much, miss those great shows and sat morning cartoons! What id give to go back!

Brit crap...I knew it...

I wouldn’t want to go back to my childhood in the 70’s but we were much carefree then.

I think we should all admit how easy it is to look at 50 years ago with rose-colored glasses. I had fun growing up in the 1960s and becoming a teenager and young adult in the 1970s. But today’s kids are having fun and will be nostalgic too. I don’t discount anyone’s life experience as less than mine.

Good easy honest living back then, not as many problems as now..... What the hell happened!! 😱

A loved the kids telly early on a saturday morning ..sugar an bread sarnies..

Wow… i was born ‘68 so was very much a youngster through the 70s… but I remember all these clips. Funny thing is we only had a black n white TV and i never realised (such is the power of imagination) that such things existed in colour… actually it wasn’t until the the late 20s when i bought a dvd of bagpus that i discovered to my horror that bagpus was pink! I always assumed it was a ginger cat 😮

Brilliant, simply brilliant! 😄👍🏻 I still live in 1977 😂

Grew up in Liverpool we had nothing we had Everything ❤

Thank god i grew up in the 70,s.you forgot the most important thing from the 70,s DISCO

Love this. Great memories from that time growing up in London ( Battersea )

The seventies were not all good,crap tv ,school was awful.

Excellent. Also: Rhubarb and Custard. The Flumps. Alberto Frog. Dukes of Hazard. Blondie's, "Sunday Girl." Bouquet of Barbed Wire. Robin's nest. Tales of the unexpected. Two's company. The Gemini Man. The Invisible Man. The Fantastic Journey. Planet of the apes. Tarzan. (Utterly horrid) Daktari. Barbapapa. Pebble Mill at One. TV for Schools and Colleges.

The end-credits theme to, "The Sweeney," is probably the most depressing music of my life. Because that meant I had to go to bed.

The Tomorrow People was my favourite followed by The Professionals which jumped into both decades. Neither are listed here sadly. I so wanted to teleport back then, and think that show was so ahead of its time as was Doctor Who's equivalent as they were both on different channels then.

Why did you not include Motown?

Yeah, those were the Days.:-) In 1973 I emigrated with my Mother from Germany to Canada,Edmonton,Alberta. I was 6 Years old, went to School,learned english, had a Cat, and I think the Best Years of my Life. Sadly we only staid in Canada till, I cant recall which Month, but 1979. I grew uo with many of these TV shows like; "Hawaii 5"O", "The Six Million Dollar Man", "The Bionic Woman", "Batman","Kojak","Star Trek""Black Beauty", "THe Waltons""Happy Days" and many others and Songs like "Summer Nights" from John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. Spmetimes it bugs me that you can"t turn back Time. Anyway thanks for uploading some memorable Moments and walking down Memory-Lane. Now I have many of those Shows on DVD and go back in time by watching these Shows.

Guess what? I lived through the 70's, and never ONCE had to suffer through a soccer game on television, here in America!

Champion the wonder horse and Casey Jones were 50's and 60's matey.

I left school in 1975 .❤

I absolutely loved the goodies . X ❤

I was 8 in 1970. I remember all these wonderful programs and adverts. Best time of my life . I was in love with David soul my first crush. Watching the big match with my dad. Innocent and uncompleted life . The childhood i had was so amazing loved it wish I could do it all again xx

I was born 1971 but remember all of this , Oh those days! haha

It certainly did. So many shows I used to watch on here.

I grew up in the 1970's first part of the decade I was a kid but the 2nd part of the 1970's I was a teenager and going to highschool, it was a good time to be alive. I love it and wish I could go back.

A time when women were normal, football was a sport, and not a business, and kids actually left the house!

It seems like much of this stuff was in England, therefore I'm not familiar. But I do remember a few of the things shown here.

And all packed into 3 channels.

Oh my god! That was just great! My favourite, The Banana Splits! Hey, Drooper, take out the trash! 😂
